The Throwing skill denotes how accurate and powerful your character is with thrown weapons.

Throwing weapons benefit more from skill than other weapons. Like Unarmed Combat, throwing weapons deal (weapon base damage) + (Throwing skill) base damage due to skill. Regular weapons get a 1 + 1d(Skill) / 25 multiplier instead. For example, 10 Throwing would double the base damage of a javelin but only increase other weapons by 20%.
